Another general practice to which I emailed a message encrypted with
the practice's HeSA digital certificate (that they presumably
obtained to use for Medicare Online Claiming) says:
"Unfortunately we use Eudora for our email which is not supported by
PKI. We will need to change programs
to Outlook or similar."
My brief reading of the Eudora specs online seems to suggest that
Eudora should be able to use the practice's HeSA digital certificate
and other X509 certificates, so perhaps the practice just doesn't
know how to do this.
Could anybody who knows whether Eudora can use HeSA's digital
certificates please let me know? If it can, I will let the practice
know that they need to RTFM or get help with setting Eudora up to
use their certificate.
From the HESA web site - page found in google cache after search
"HESA certificate eudora"
Eudora
You must use an additional module like MailSecure to S/MIME enable
the Eudora mail client. Eudora will only use our certificates if it
has MailSecure or some similar software operating in conjunction.

There are several references on Google to divisional documentation
suggesting that it does work - with instructions.
Last I tried using S/MIME with Eudora with David Guest, it didn't
work (but that was some time ago). Eudora is not as standards
compliant as Thunderbird, but I prefer Eudora as my primary email
client at home, since it has mostly been well behaved for me over the
past 12 years.
Haven't tried it with HESA certificates.
